Eternal Sacred King
chapter-2198

2198 He’s Cheating!

In front of the palace square.

“As expected of a reincarnated immortal. Feng Yin is way too fast and is at the front!”

“What’s that? Everywhere Feng Yin passes, wild winds howl and extinguish the surrounding flames?”

The crowd exclaimed.

Although the wind aided the flames, Feng Yin’s methods prevented the flames from getting close!

“Look over there! Immortal Tai Hua isn’t weak either and is currently ranked second!”

Immortal Tai Hua conjured an immortal art and pointed to the skies. A pitch-black dark cloud appeared above his head and a heavy rain poured down.

He sped towards the center of Level 1.

The dark clouds hovered above his head the entire time and the heavy rain poured continuously. Before the surrounding flames could get close, they were extinguished by the heavy rain.

“Heavens, the divine power, Rain Summoning, can actually be controlled so precisely. How amazing!”

“Not only that, even if we use Rain Summoning, we might not be able to extinguish the flames within.”

As they spoke, other cultivators released their divine powers and called for rain. However, before the dark clouds in the skies could gather, they were swept away by the flames and dissipated!

That scene caused everyone in the square to burst into laughter.

The two reincarnated immortals had already impressed the various factions and cultivators in the square with just a few methods.

Right now, the third was Tie Han of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.

Ranked fourth was Yue Feng of Mountain Sea Immortal Sect.

“Seems like the prediction of the Earth Ranking of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom is quite accurate. The moment they entered the Nine Heavens, these few people are far in the lead.”

“Eh? That person’s ranking is rising so quickly!”

Right then, the crowd exclaimed.

Everyone looked over and saw a scarlet glow streaking through the sea of flames.

The glow was so fast that its body burned with thin flames, as though it had fused with the surrounding world of flames.

“It’s Princess Scarlet Rainbow, representing Heaven and Earth Academy to fight for the Earth Ranking!”

“Princess Scarlet Rainbow cultivated the top cultivation technique of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom, the Great Sun Sutra, to begin with and controlled the power of flames. Now, she’s making use of the power of the world of flames to raise her speed to another level!”

“I reckon that Princess Scarlet Rainbow has a chance of entering the top three of Level 1!”

“That’s only temporary. There are four levels ahead.”

Many cultivators discussed as they watched the elimination round. It was noisy and lively.

On the side of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom, Yun Ting remained silent. As he drank his strong wine, he glared at a figure in the mirror in the firmaments with a playful expression.

“This test should be very boring for you, right?”

Yun Ting muttered to himself.

The most important reason why he came this time round was naturally to challenge Su Zimo personally.

Apart from that, there was another motive.

Ever since his sister returned from the Immortal Sect Selection a thousand years ago, she had a very high evaluation of Su Zimo. She even praised him often and said that he had many trump cards and did not use his full strength.

Yun Ting knew that his sister was trying to motivate him not to slack off.

However, he was still extremely indignant.

Therefore, he wanted to see how many more tricks Su Zimo had up his sleeves this time round!

Although Yun Ting appeared arrogant and conceited, he would use his full strength in every battle and did not dare to be careless, let alone underestimate his opponent!

He was watching Su Zimo this time round so that he could understand his opponent better.

“Look, someone’s dead over there!”

Suddenly, a cry sounded from the crowd.

On Level 1 of the Nine Heavens, the immortal art released by an Earth Immortal shattered. Before a second divine power could be added, the flames burned his body and he died on the spot!

“This person doesn’t know his place at all. How far has he gone? He’s still far from the teleportation formation at the center of Level 1.”

“That’s right. These people have yet to encounter the true threat of Level 1.”

“Heavenly Fires might descend in the world of flames, phenomenons might appear and terrifying living beings condensed from flames might appear. That’s the true test!”

A cultivator who had participated in the Nine Heavens before said with a heavy tone.

In that short period of time, more than one Earth Immortal had died.

Furthermore, some Earth Immortals had already begun to retreat and did not advance.

“By the way, how’s that Grade 8 Earth Immortal of the academy?”

“His name is Su Zimo, right?”

“That’s him! His cultivation realm is the lowest and it won’t be long before his Essence Qi is depleted after he defends against the terrifying flames!”

“That can’t be. I saw that he was ranked 49 on the Earth Ranking prediction.”

Many cultivators were curious when someone in the crowd mentioned Su Zimo.

Initially, Su Zimo did not enter everyone’s line of sight nor did he attract much attention.

The reason why everyone paid attention to him was because Yun Ting appeared to challenge him personally followed by the fact that the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect were joining forces to kill him.

“Over there!”

Right then, someone pointed to the mirror and shouted.

Many cultivators looked over hurriedly.

That single look caused the clamor in the square to quieten down.

The cultivators who were arguing earlier widened their eyes and mouths in shock, looking at the green-robed cultivator in the Nine Heavens in disbelief.

The abnormality here naturally piqued the curiosity of the other cultivators.

More and more cultivators looked towards Su Zimo.

Those people took a look and were dumbfounded as well.

Before long, the massive square fell silent!

Everyone’s gazes landed on the green-robed scholar.

After a while, a weak voice sounded in the quiet square. “W-What is he doing? Is he taking a walk?”

When he heard that, Xie Qingcheng shook his head gently and smiled.

The elders of the academy raised their glasses with gratified expressions.

In the Nine Heavens, Su Zimo advanced slowly in the raging flames with his hands behind his back without using any divine powers or immortal arts!

Everyone only saw a green-robed scholar with refined features treading on the flames. His black hair danced and his sleeves fluttered as he strolled leisurely in an indescribably carefree manner.

After a momentary silence, the crowd rebounded rapidly and an even louder commotion broke out!

“What’s that? That person isn’t afraid of the flames inside?”

“I’m making a report!”

Suddenly, Xue Yuan of the Xue Clan stood up from his seat and pointed at Su Zimo who was in the Nine Heavens, saying hatefully, “He’s cheating!”

Xue Yuan was injured by Su Zimo and had yet to recover. Out of safety considerations, he could not take part in the Earth Ranking competition.

Naturally, he bore a grudge against Su Zimo and could not take it lying down at this moment!

“The green robes he’s wearing must be some Dharmic treasure!”

“Or perhaps, he secretly summoned some Dharmic treasure. Otherwise, how could he stroll in the flames?”

Xue Yuan spoke with conviction.

Xie Ling looked at Xue Yuan.
